Just a quick update since I have a moment to sit down...

Love my new job. Absolutely love it so far. Love who I work with, love meeting new people, love the work itself. The only thing I don't love is the early mornings. We've always stayed up at night until midnight or later - now I have to try to get to bed earlier (Right now, somewhere, Dave is reading this and laughing because he has been trying to tell me this forever). I am having to get up at 5:00 some days to run before work. I know, I know - some of you have been doing this forever - and hats off to you - you are all amazing. I actually caught myself yawning during a run last week - I was so tired - never had that happen before.

I am anxious for more fair weather so Dave and I can get out more on our bikes. We've had one good ride together, but schedules and weather are making it tough. Last week we went out, only to have it start raining pretty hard a few miles in. When we stopped at one point, I tipped my head forward and a waterfall came off my helmet. But - I love the bike - it's just not as easy or convenient as running. And I'm a little afraid of dying at the hands of a careless driver.

Things at the practice are changing on a daily basis. We just had the interior painted and it looks so much different - more open and bright. We are in the process of replacing the furnishings in the waiting area, which is proving to be a challenge with our busy schedules. Fortunately, we are both excited about the improvements and don't mind spending a lot of spare time at the office. The exterior is going to be painted in the next week or two. Couple all that with the new landscaper we have, and things are looking good. Dr. Davis is making his exodus, which leaves Dave as the sole provider until Tom arrives. More hours, but more control and more harmony in the office.

Kids are great - totally adapted to my new schedule. They don't need me as much as I like to think they do. Isaac & Taylor are participating in the Dance Festival for our stake and seem to be having a good time. Isaac has a cute partner, apparently, and Taylor is just relieved he doesn't have to dance with any girls, since he'll only be a deacon. Parker is still the most forgetful and scatter-brained child I have ever encountered. The phrase, "He would lose his head if it weren't attached" was made for him. But he's adorable and hilarious, so it's okay. Took Morgan to the doctor today for her recurrent stye on her eye. Not only did we get some antibiotic ointment, but I think she took a fancy to her doctor. All the way home: Mom, Dr. Miller was so nice. Dr. Miller is so smart. I liked Dr. Miller, Mom.

Looking forward to Tom & Tracey's visit - and to Anne's move up here - and to summer. I am having sunshine withdrawals.
